DevOps Engineer (CI/CD) (Intern)
About The Role
- We're looking for a DevOps Engineering Intern who wants to improve how systems are built, tested, and shipped—not just maintain pipelines.
- You'll work on CI/CD, infrastructure-as-code, release automation, and developer tooling in a fast-moving environment where systems and workflows evolve constantly. This means building reliable pipelines, improving deployment safety, and enabling engineers to move faster without breaking things.
- You'll collaborate closely with founders and engineers to shape how software is delivered in production. Your work will directly impact developer velocity, system reliability, and release confidence.
- If you enjoy automating workflows, fixing bottlenecks, and improving how teams ship software, this role will push you to grow quickly.
- Design, implement, and maintain CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions or GitLab CI)
- Manage build, test, and release workflows across services
- Work with infrastructure-as-code tools (Terraform or Pulumi)
- Improve Docker-based build and deployment processes
- Implement safe rollout strategies (canary, blue-green, feature flags)
- Integrate quality, security, and observability checks into pipelines
- Build internal tools to improve developer productivity
- Document pipelines, environments, and operational runbooks
- Familiarity with CI/CD tools like GitHub Actions or GitLab CI
- Basic understanding of Docker and container workflows
- Exposure to infrastructure-as-code concepts (Terraform or Pulumi)
- Understanding of Git workflows and release practices
- Interest in improving developer experience and automation
- Ability to operate in fast-changing, ambiguous environments
- You think in terms of user-perceived reliability, not just dashboards
- You ask 'what does good reliability look like' before adding metrics
- You take ownership of uptime and graceful degradation
- You balance speed of change with system stability
- You proactively identify reliability gaps before they cause incidents
- Experience with observability tools like Prometheus, Grafana, or OpenTelemetry
- Exposure to incident management or on-call workflows
- Experience with resilience testing or chaos engineering
- Familiarity with tracing and structured logging
- Own monitoring and alerting for a subset of services
- Reduce noisy alerts and improve signal quality
- Contribute to incident retrospectives with actionable insights
- Improve reliability, visibility, or response time in a measurable way
- Hands-on experience building reliability practices from the ground up
- Direct collaboration with founders and core engineering teams
- Real ownership beyond a typical SRE internship
- A portfolio of dashboards, runbooks, and system improvements
- A strong pathway into SRE, platform, or production engineering roles
- If you want predictable systems with no incidents to handle
- If you avoid ambiguity or cross-team problem solving
- If you prefer rigid, siloed environments with predefined processes
- Builders who want to actively own system reliability
- Engineers who think in terms of end-to-end systems
- Calm debuggers of intermittent and complex failures
- High-agency individuals who care about keeping systems running reliably
